We're looking at having both options for your sets there, hightekvagabond.
david rixon, it doesn't do that now which you noticed, but if the application is open already, you should be able to drag/drop them into the Uploadr window. I don't know if this can be done when the app is open. The question has been posed to the developer for review though. :)
davidface- did the app window ever launch for you?

Kevin, thanks, I had noticed that. Moreso I was using Lightroom to export to the Flickr Uploadr multiple times before uploading the batch - and noticed only the first export was added. The Explore 'send to flickr' was only used to see if it was LR or Uploadr not allowing it to work.
Thanks for passing it on :) No problems w/ Uploadr here otherwise on xp sp3 :)

Kevin!!
I LONG ago quit using the new ones and am currently using v.3. I uninstalled everything else way back there.
It just happened again this morning on a ONE LINE description -
I wrote "Early Morning May 23 2008" and got it under 152 photos
THREE TIMES, and I can't tag anything.
I give up. I understand that a "fix" may be hard to come by, but did it HAVE to wreck what WAS working in the name of "progress"? And why do you suppose the older versions are now doing the same stupid thing?
Frustrated - - - not at "you" or Flickr per se, but "big time" by technolog.
I'm beginning to sign all my posts anywhere with the following words:
"Don't confuse motion with progress."
Thanks, anyway, Kevin.

In the past day or two, something has come up in Uploadr 3.1.
If the description field is blank when I put a picture into the Uploadr, the title is put into it. So if I have a picture titled "My Cat", the description (which was previously blank, the way I wanted it) becomes "My Cat".
If I'm uploading one or two pictures at a time, it's not that big a deal, but I'm currently doing batches from an event and unfortunately 3.1 won't allow me to erase the descriptions of a batch. Not a big problem, but a hassle to be sure.

New video user. I just bought a new HD Canon HG10 HDD. The video files that get uploaded to my pc are converted into .M2ts Win DVD files. The uploader utilities are not recognizing these files. Is there any way for me to upload these HD videos into my Flicr stream?

 You'll need to use some editor that can open those files and convert them to an acceptable format. Did your Canon come with any software?

Could you please upscale the icon artwork to 512x512 for Leopard? (And for Vista, too, since it uses gigantor icons too from what I've heard.)
The pixelated app icon just doesn't look so nice in Finder's CoverFlow view.

@MacGeek Pro- yes, you are right. It does look a little stretched out in CoverFlow.
@Kara & Prakash- try this FAQ suggestion. (But looking at your 3rd party auths, it looks like you got it working, yes?)
@johnpiercy- right, the web upload page will upload that particular file format in the meantime.
@dawpa2000- also, for this case, use the Flash upload page for the time being.
@Vieira, thank you, that IPTC bug is logged.
@LexnGer- studiotamar suggested the Picasa2Flickr plugin for dragging and dropping from Picasa.

GustavoG- it's definitely working supported file types I drop into it, so it's possible something might be corrupt for you. You might try removing-

..directory and the profile content beneath it and restarting.

Hi Kevin
Thanks for the response but it is still not working! I have been trying all morning and it keeps appearing as though the uploader has frozen trying to sign in. It doesn't open the folder where it is located on the computer - it just does nothing!
I have tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling, I have tried closing it and starting again, I've tried having my flickr account open and closed....I have tried everything that I can think of! And now I am just stuck!
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Kara

Last night I tried removing all uploadr-related stuff, installing fresh, and it still didn't work.
Now I installed the uploadr on a different mac. This is the first time ever I install the uploadr on this machine, and nobody else works with it. There was no uploadr folder/profile in my Application Support in the Library.
So I downloaded the installer, installed the uploadr, ran it, authenticated with flickr, and dropped a jpg. I got a yellow triangle.

I can't get Uploadr 3.1 to upload my photos (for over a month now). Other methods of uploading seem to work OK. I seem to be logged in alright, but when I hit the upload button Uploadr just sits at 0% complete. I've read in some of the forums about problems with certain ISPs, but have found no mention of mine, BT. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times, disabling my firewall and switching the router off and on - all to no avail.
Can anyone help?

Rich Ford you should use the web uploader that works much better than this "long-time-problematic" software version.
If you need more help, you should add to your post your Operating System version.
Good luck!

@GustavoG: Yes, I use this one on Tiger.
@pbrady: Yep, that's definitely broken and on our list to fix.
@Rich Ford- Nothing amiss which is BT specific. I do use it on Vista as well. If your other upload methods are working better for you, until we have an update, please use what works best.
@Phil Maymin: That isn't really a bug so much as there isn't a standard of metadata that we can go by for different video formats like there is with EXIF. (We do not use the file creation date that exists that the OS uses.) We probably won't have an answer for that soon.

Thanks Kevin. The problem remains, then.
I just did this:
1) Created a new userid on this OS X 10.4.11 machine.
2) Logged into the new userid.
3) Executed the Flickr Uploadr 3.1. (It bounced for a while, then quickly looked as if it had quit and restarted itself, finally opened the UI window.)
4) Dropped on it a gif, a jpg. All resulted in yellow triangles.
So - freshly downloaded and installed Uploadr on a brand new account (no old prefs to confuse it), and it rejects simple image filetypes.

@Kevin: Why not make it an option to use the file creation date that the OS uses? On my SD cards, it matches the time the photo was taken. It's certainly more likely to be accurate than the current date and time.

@GustavoG: Still flummoxed by this here too. :\ Any chance you might be able to get any console error information from Uploadr? If nothing there, do you get any output from OS X's Console.App?
@Phil Mayin- Thanks for the feedback on that. We don't do this for photos without EXIF either, file creation dates can be changeable/unreliable if images are transferred around, which is why a good, standard metadata format would really be preferable.

I use my laptop at work and home. Uploader 3.0.5 worked at home, but not at work. I got the beta and it doesn't work at work either. I believe it has something to do with the proxy at work and none at home. If this can use the proxy setting of Microsoft's Internet Explorer for detecting proxy usage, this would make this version work. The older version I had (I don't recall the release) worked both at home and work. If you could fix this, I'm sure it would help a lot of folks.

basykes - Uploadr offers lots more options - "drag and drop" ordering, "Add To Set", etc.
On the other hand, it doesn't always work so well...
If you're only uploading a single item, the web-based page might be better. For multiple items, Uploadr is better - when it works...

Perhaps it was version 2 you were using. You can still use that application, as well as the Flash web form or third party tools (found here). We won't have updates for this as soon as we had hoped previously, I am sorry. We will update it sometime, just not yet.
@lady_jade_01- There are no ways to automatically swap prefs.js files, as you see it's a manual process to edit the proxy information as it is.

No no no no way am I upgrading to 3.1 after reading all the trouble people are having with it. The version 3's have been nothing but trouble. The original one never worked. And 3.05 fails to upload all my photos EVERY SINGLE TIME I use it. Every single time. I get "bonk" and fail errors galore. Now its new habit is uploading multiple copies of my photos, hanging, and then losing everything I worked on.
If version 3 worked, it'd be better than version 2, but as it stands, I'm going to have to go back to version 2 before I scream.

I am also on a Mac (MacOS version 10.4.11 - PowerPC G4) and having the yellow triangle problem on Uploadr 3.1, with pictures and movies. I upgraded from a previous version (can't remember which version) of Flickr by dropping the new app over the top of the old one.
Errors on the console were:
Error: threads.gm is null
Source file: chrome://uploadr/content/threads.js
Line: 63
Error:

I then as advised removed
/[Your Home]/Library/Application Support/Flickr Uploadr
and restarted my Mac.
The problem still occurs and errors on the console are now, from first use:

Until now, i did not have the chance to copy error from the console; this version from uploadr also crashes very regularly. Sometimes already after 3 files, sometimes it just get stuck and many times it crashes when closing the program.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with my anti-virus software (kaspersky, latest version); which automatically stops when uploadr is launched and restarts when the program is closed..
I hate to do so, but i do switch to an alternative like Flock when uploading larger batch of files. Very frustrating!

Another thing - I really don't appreciate cutesy messages like "Bonk!" and "Houston, we have a problem" and suggestions that I "twiddle with my cables" when the problem is entirely with the Uploadr. Things go wrong, I lose all my work, and you're trying to make a joke out of it.
I love Flickr, but I remain perplexed that there is not a single good and reliable way to upload multiple photos to it. I've managed to upload thousands of photos *despite* Flickr's best efforts, but it's been getting significantly worse and worse over the past few weeks, and I'm really hoping someone's doing something about it.

Does this fix any of the bugs in Uploadr? (1) Corrupting (dropping) tags (2) unable to handle files with accents like "Musée D'Orsay.jpg" (Is there anywhere to report bugs like these? Will they ever be fixed?)
Also, is 3.1 a "real" release or a "beta" version? (e.g. I don't see 3.1 listed on www.flickr.com/tools/uploadr/)

Well, mine uploaded all the pictures (63 of 63), but that that was at 49% complete (???) and there it sits. I would think that all it needed to do now is create the set.
I don't think I'm a whiner in particular when it comes to software, but Flickr's (aka Yahoo!'s) inability to supply a reliable upload utility absolutely baffles me. This is a multi-billion dollar company and yet no version of supplied uploader works that great, including the web form. Picasa to Picasa Web however works flawlessly.
Given the hundreds of thousands of paying customers, you'd think some significant resource would be being placed into this. Instead it sounds like there are one or two programmers working on it (and perhaps part time at that). Frankly by the way it reads the software is being operated like an Open Source project (with the support that implies), even though there are a huge number of paying customers. Heck the upgrades even *remove* functionality (ie: proxy support in the options).
Flickr doesn't seem to be taking this seriously - one of the most important components of a photo web site is uploading. Flickr/Yahoo! should be putting significant resource and priority into making this flawless. As it is it makes the entire product (web site and all) seem amateurish.
If Flickr doesn't want to lose customers to the multitude of other alternatives, they ought to get their act together and soon. This is unacceptable and frankly insulting to their loyal customers.

Not to add insult to injury, but after running all night, it still stands hung at 49%. No timeout, no nothing (with all the hangs there appears to be no timeouts - these are relatively trivial to implement and a must in programs using networking)..
Granted I wouldn't want to write it myself, but a functional uploader doesn't seem like an extremely complicated piece of software to construct. With sufficient paid dedicated developers this should be a relatively straightforward and quickly completed application (particularly since the most of the interface is already complete).
To summarize though, uploading photos is a intrinsic portion of a photo sharing portal. If you can't upload photos, there's no point. Flickr/Yahoo! should dedicate, or even outsource if they have to, whatever resources needed to create a robust, feature filled, and stable application that is up to production standards. One that is commensurate with the requirements of the number of paying users they have. As it is now, it is clearly only a second thought to the Flickr website itself. That is not acceptable.

I'm running MacOS version 10.4.11 and trying to upload a .mov video that I imported from my Kodak EasyShare Z710 camera using both the web uploadr and Flickr Uploadr 3.1. Both programs upload the video successfully, but then after processing for a while Flickr complains that it can't display the video. I checked the list of formats Flickr will handle and .mov is listed so I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyone have any ideas?

@A2 Mac Geek- I checked the information that's leftover from the deleted files and our processor daemon failed on it each time. We're doing some checking to see why there are some inconsistencies with video processing, that's tracked over in this topic.
@pbrady: svn for uploadr
@anendel- it has been reported that in Kaspersky, using an option called "Streaming Scan" may free up Uploadr (as well as as some other network applications) up.
@Cesar Soplin- there is no Linux version we have distributed at this time.
@ne11y- that sounds like the same issue that GustavoG reported previously (his posts earlier in this page), also a PPC 10.4 system. I'm sorry, no solution at this time for it.
@boinkphoto, thank you for the feedback. (Curious though, how is the web Flash form problematic?)
@Ryan Hadley- we have it linked back to this topic on the tools page. Yes, this is the place to report problems.
@Joe Shlabotnik- We hear the application frustrations, we are sorry there's not a new one for you to use, but the application itself hasn't changed in that time frame. If you notice degradation of upload performance over the past few weeks time, it is possible there may be other issues at play here. Perhaps the upload FAQ might be worth looking at.

Would it be possible to reapir the broken text input fields in the Mac version? It's extremely annoying and makes me type everything in another program and then paste it into Flickr Uploader. I guess you use some kind of non-native "cross" platform library a la QT. Might be a bad choice, since input in those libraries are generally badly implemented. (Both Skype and Spotify use platform-native input controls, but do the rest them selves. Might be worth considering)
Cheers!

Maybe you just need to do a re-install. I'm using Mac OSX and I have no broken text input fields on the Uploader.

I downloaded an early version of the uploader early last year (don't know what version it actually was) but it was brilliant - took seconds to upload and never ever hung. Yesterday it stopped working so I downloaded version 3.0 which was shockingly slow. I then discovered version 3.1 so downloaded that too but it's also dreadful!! Tonight it has taken forever to upload 2 photos (been over 30 minutes now and it still says 'processing' on one of them!) What a nightmare! Please tell me that I can still access an old reliable version and if so, where I can find it?!! Should I be using a different one for just photos perhaps?!(I don't do videos!)

I'll try reporting this bug here as suggested ...
When uploading photos with titles longer than 64 characters, the title is truncated without warning even though no such limit exists on the image once on Flickr (ie, you can add the missing part of the title back to the image through the web interface without issue, but this seems to be a lengthy, tedious and unnecessary process).
Any chance we can have this fixed for the next release of the uploader?

I have to say, I really like Flickr, the wealth of options, even the look of the pages is excellent.
However, it is so difficult to get your photos on to the website I've decided to shift over to Picasa. Yes, their website has less functionality and it's harder to let your friends see your photos, but it is much, much easier to use.
One lost customer.

Upload sequence. I just uploaded 35 photos using the 3.1 uploadr. They all had the exact same date/time stamp taken and modified. They are a series of pictures and the sequence was important. From what I can tell, the uploadr processed some of the smaller sized photos before some of the larger ones, thereby screwing up my upload sequence. I went in and manually changed the flickr date posted in order to put the photos back in sequence. Yes, I'm aware I can also control the sequence via drag-n-drop in a set or arranging them in alphabetical sequence based on photo title in a set.
It just seems (to me) that my upload order should have been maintained.

have uploaded several videos successfully without ever having a problem, until 2 days ago. the file seems to upload all the way, and then a yellow box appears in my stream saying that the video was unable to be processed. all my videos are always the same format: .mov files exported from imovie. i am on a mac and have tried the web upload pages on both camino and safari, as well as the latest uploadr app, all with the same dismal result. vimeo did not have a problem uploading the file, so i know it's a flickr issue, not a file corruption issues or whatnot.
is there anything that can be done?

I have the latest version of uploader 3.0.5 The only problem I've been having is it repeats my descriptions over and over. At first it was just doubling them now there are upwards of 20 when can this be expected to be fixed?

MA Photography2008 - you don't have the latest. This is a help forum for vers. 3.1. You might want to try it (see top of page for a download link). But, as you can see, it isn't perfect either based upon all these comments.

Jeremy Cantrell: See Kevin's last response before yours. Linux does not have any version of Uploadr. Only Windows and Macintosh have Uploadr downloads to download and install.

I have tried repeatedly on both my Mac running updated OS X and Windows XP, and I repeatedly stall when trying to upload photos -- I am successfully uploading between 2-30 pix out of several hundred pix.

Please be advised that I'm having the same problem as dawpa2000, johnpiercy, ne11y, GustavoG and others when I attemp to add video clips to the preview release of Flickr Uploadr Version 3.1.
However, 3.1 uploadr adds and uploads photos OK.
I am running a fully patched Windows XP MCE SP3 on a PC with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz and 1024 MB RAM, and ran tests with IE 7.0.5730.11 and Firefox 3.0 each in turn set as the default browser. XP won't allow me make Safari 3.525.21.0 my default browser.
I took heather (staff)'s advice and generated video clips using Microsoft Windows Movie Maker, which I then attempted to add to 3.1 uploadr.
I also tried to add Quicktime .mov video clips that weren't exported using iMovie on a Mac, but were generated in the following format:
Sorenson Video 3
192 x 144
25 fps
341.57 kbit/sec.
I have documented the problem in more detail here.
Please advise me of when the next alpha test version of Flickr Uploadr is expected to be ready for download?

I'm trying to upload a number of videos, but it gets stuck at 2% complete with the following error:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch2.getIntPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/findbar.xml :: :: line 369" data: no]
I noticed earlier in the thread (5 weeks ago) you said to pbrady who quoted the same error "Yep, that's definitely broken and on our list to fix." -- any ETA on this? (I'm uploading AVIs though, not .mov or .mp4 like pbrady.)
The annoying thing is that I spent half an hour adding all the metadata, which I'll lose when I close the Uploadr.

Oh and also: is there a workaround for this bug? For example, would uploading them one at a time work? Can you explain what's causing it?

I have also tried uploading the same videos via www.flickr.com/photos/upload/ -- all I get is "Bonk! None of your files made it. Try again, or return to your photos?"
I have uploaded many videos from the same camera in the past, so I know it's not the video format.
Is anyone from Flickr still reading this thread?

No matter what I upload with, whether the uploader or the web page, it just doesn't work. I have been trying to upload a video, one only, and it stalls. Sometimes it will get to 99% and stall, and sometimes, it will stall in the middle. I am so frustrated I haven't even tried to upload photos!
I have upload 37 videos in the past and have been told it was my provider who had everything wrong. But I wrote them and they say everything's alright on their side.
And I see in different threads that other people are just as frustrated as me.

It turns out that flickr has accepted .MOV movies until now and doesn't want them any longer, turning the MOV into (H264).MOV, with stomp made it work, or perhaps it was something else...

Why am I trying to make sense out of something that doesn't make sense? My next video, a (H264).MOV is stuck at 99%
Maybe I should go back to Blip.tv, definitely more reliable.

This thread was way too long for me to sort through to find whether someone had found this, but I found a quirk in the 3.1 uploader that would be an easy fix for the dev's.
MPEG-4 video is supported, which is great. Made a video in iMovie, exported it out. Dropped in the file, which was filename.m4v, and it rejects it as an unsupported format. Rename it to filename.mp4, and it works like a champ.
It would be great if future releases would allow the *.m4v extension, since its the default for most of the apps on the Mac side of things.
Great work, guys.

This is really getting ridiculous.
Mac OS X 10.4.11. I had plenty of problems with 3.0.5 and 3.1, so I reverted to version 2. But in the last month or two, version 2 has become increasingly unstable, quietly crashing and losing the sets that were uploading. So I decided to try 3.0.5 again; yet more wasted time, as I retagged a bunch of stuff, but it refused to upload it. "Bonk." Nothing useful in console:

So I tried 3.1. 3.1 at least does me the favor of completely refusing to accept any of my JPG files; all yellow triangles. At least I didn't have to work to re-tag things.
This is totally absurd; how can Flickr not manage to fix major bugs in its applications for, what is it now, six months?

Hi!
thanks for updating the uploader. however, there is one bug that's very frustrating to me - the pictures don't always upload into the photostream in the order i place them.
I usually put the pictures in a very specific order (not chronological), and in all the new uploaders there is always a glitch or two when a picture appears in a wrong location. (this never happened with the old uploader).
ideas?
thank you!

Hi, my .mov videos won't upload.
I have tried the old and new Uploadr, and both of the site ones.
Can anyone help?

Two feature requests; one note. (I am using Mac's v. 3.1)
When I edit my photo's (using Aperture 2.1) shoved in the metadata it put's my "normal" description of a photo. When uploading I want to replace that description. There is not "replace" button or I could batch change them without having to select each one and delete. Will this be advisable soon?
The other is spell check. Do you know how much of a pain it is when you have to "check" your upload?!!!
Lastly the cursor still disappear's when typing. (Oddly usually no longer in the middle of text or while typing, just in a blank space.)
Thanks for all your hard work though!

Jens Brun - check out this thread to see if it describes your problem (do the uploads freeze at 99%?)

I've been unable to upload video by any method for two weeks now.

Can you make the "Add to set" panel bigger? I have so many sets it's getting impossible to easily scroll to find the right one.

@mgasser: If you're using Firefox, you should be able to do so yourself with a Greasemonkey script, or possibly even a user stylesheet.

You have to rotate videos before you upload them to Flickr. There's no way to do it on Flickr.

Anybody else having this version hang when "processing" photos? The photo and data are uploaded fine, but it stalls when trying to add the photo to the set. I have to quit Uploadr and do that manually on the Flickr site.
Any ideas?

i have the same problem.. it's been a bug ever since 3.0; everything works perfectly except when adding the photo to a set..
i just do it manually.. upload the photos with the uploadr (to NO selected sets), then hit the "go to flickr" button when it finishes and make the set in the browser.. a bit troublesome.. hoping it's fixed soon
